All you have to do is pick-up the paper or scan social media to see the effects of the misguided & misinformed security of Gun-Free zones. The mere ignorance & arrogance that somehow passing or legislating an area to be "Gun Free" is miraculously and magically going to prevent someone from using a gun is just complete a murderous rampage is Fallacy! But yet Liberals and gun-phobic people in our society continue to believe that by designating certain areas & businesses as being "GUN FREE" they will prevent gun crimes from occurring. Essentially the exact opposite is what happens. Criminals who will not obey laws as a result of their inherent nature will simply target these areas and premises because they are certain to NOT face any armed resistance.

‘Gun free’ zones have a unique history as one of the most illogical, dangerous, and senseless policies pushed by gun control advocates. That means that you – armed with logic – have a very good chance of changing some of your friends beliefs with a few simple questions. I’ve seen it happen many, many times. So get out there, and ask your friends a few questions".

There are so many examples of where & how these Gun Free Zones have proven to be "Killing Zones" where no one if anybody is armed to stop the carnage.

"No gun law ever prevented a crime," Gottlieb concluded, "and the notion of a gun-free zone is a myth. More restrictions on law-abiding citizens will never stop people like Morrison, who proved yet again that feel-good laws have defrauded American citizens, and especially our children, of genuine safety."

"After a shooting spree," author William Burroughs once said, "they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn't do it." Burroughs continued: "I sure as hell wouldn't want to live in a society where the only people allowed guns are the police and the military."

Plenty of people — especially among America's political and journalistic classes — feel differently. They'd be much more comfortable seeing ordinary Americans disarmed. And whenever there is a mass shooting, or other gun incident that snags the headlines, they do their best to exploit the tragedy and push for laws that would, well, take the guns away from the people who didn't do it.

Policies making areas "gun free" provide a sense of safety to those who engage in magical thinking, but in practice, of course, killers aren't stopped by gun-free zones. As always, it's the honest people — the very ones you want to be armed — who tend to obey the law.

A North Carolina restaurant that had recently instituted a “no gun” policy was robbed at gunpoint Sunday, raising the question, do gun-free zones work, or are they a magnet for criminals?

This incident came in the wake of shootings at several Jack in the Box restaurants shortly after it instituted its own no gun policy. It did so in response to mounting pressure from Moms Against Guns.

“Every one of our mass murders in our country has occurred in places where guns are prohibited,” said Larry Pratt, the executive director of Gun Owners of America back in December in an interview on Fox News Sunday. “The legislation that is on the books is lethal; it is killing people. All of these gun-free zones are murder magnets, and we simply have got to get rid of them.”

Clearly, clearly "Gun Free" Zones have cause massive death & destruction through-out our society all under the guise that they will keep people safe and free from gun violence. Clearly, clearly this is NOT the case and has NOT worked to prevent the very Carnage that these misguided laws & restrictions were passed to prevent.
